New Book by Canon Cecil Hyland to be Launched in Christ Church Cathedral
A new book by Canon Cecil Hyland, published by Church of Ireland Publishing, will be launched in the Music Room of Christ Church Cathedral on Monday December 11 at 5.30 pm. Journeying in Faith – A Walk with Christ will be launched by the Bishop of Limerick, Killaloe & Ardfert, the Rt Revd Kenneth Kearon.
All are welcome to attend the launch but should confirm their attendance to hylandbooklaunch@rcbdub.org.
Cecil Hyland was ordained in 1963 and served curacies in Belfast and Dublin before returning to Belfast in 1967 as Church of Ireland Youth Officer. Six years later he was appointed Dean of Residence in TCD and subsequently served as Rector of Tullow and Rector of Howth before his retirement from the stipendiary ministry in 2005.
In addition he has been the Dublin and Central Director of Ordinands, a member of the Dublin Diocesan Synod and General Synod, a member of the chapter of Christ Church cathedral, and has been involved in theological and adult education and the ministry to retired clergy.
This wide experience, together with an intangible aura that commands respect and attracts devotion, suggests that his book, described by the Revd Ted Woods as ,‘an accessible introduction to the Christian faith’ will be a valuable resource for those who wish to ‘establish a connection between what is said and what is experienced’.
